Episode notes

The premise of guerrilla warfare strategy is that you're using a smaller military force. It's more mobile, it actually has an advantage over a traditional military because the traditional military is very large. They tend to take advantage of terrain like swamps, forest mountains and so on. Some men will not hesitate to go full psycho on you and go completely scorched to earth. Other men are like, oh, there's certain lines that they won't cross.

In the finale episode of season one, Lilith continues the discussion on the concept of asymmetric warfare; war where there are significant mismatches in relative military power, and compares the strategies used by weaker nations to gain the advantage against stronger nations to female resistance. Part 2 discusses "Weak Actor Strategies"
